alethicethic Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 My Michigan admit was real, and I can confirm that first round picks aren't done yet. (Which I didn't know when I posted to TGC!) So far I'm 4/4: Yale, UNC, Michigan, and MIT, but I'll likely be declining my UNC offer tomorrow so that someone else will get to visit. We on the waiting list thank you! Those are great schools, congratulations!

Cottagecheeseman Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I want to upvote everyone but i've run out of positive votes. THANKS! I'm so ecstatic just to be wait-listed.

Yourself and Modal are obviously seen as special applicants and have clearly put together a couple of the absolute best applications that adcoms will be seeing this year. Could you two tell us what you are comfortable with revealing? Example question: Are you from a top 10 department? Top 5? Do you have letter(s) from philosophers considered eminent? Thanks for responding if you choose to! Edited February 20, 2014 by TheVineyard philstudent1991 and objectivityofcontradiction 2

Could you two tell us what you are comfortable with revealing? Example question: Are you from a top 10 department? Top 5? Do you have letter(s) from philosophers considered eminent? Thanks for responding if you choose to! I was wondering this too. Also, out of upvotes but congrats to all the virginia accepts and waitlists!

Would you say more about how you can confirm that Michigan isn't done with first round picks yet?
ianfaircloud Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Would you say more about how you can confirm that Michigan isn't done with first round picks yet? This is a good question. I'm anxious to hear the answer. In the meantime, notice that Michigan has apparently sent few first-round acceptances. Additionally, Michigan has apparently sent no wait-list notifications. (See the results pages.) So for what it's worth, there's some evidence that suggests 'Hopephily' is correct. I think Michigan will do much more in March.
dgswaim Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 When I awoke this morning, I had the sense that it would be a busy admissions day. This, of course, is based on no evidence whatsoever.
Hopephily Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 When I awoke this morning, I had the sense that it would be a busy admissions day. This, of course, is based on no evidence whatsoever. It was a direct apprehension. No need for evidence. Table 1
dgswaim Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 It was a direct apprehension. No need for evidence. I have a sort of "sensus divinitatus" about these things, apparently.
TheVineyard Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I also have info that the Michigan adcom is still at work. I have no idea if first round is finished or anything like that, but I do know that they are still meeting and making decisions; they are not just delaying notifications.

pearclick Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Does anyone know if Riverside, Penn State, or Vanderbilt have released any waitlists?
philstudent1991 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Does anyone know if Riverside, Penn State, or Vanderbilt have released any waitlists? Same question
AcademicX Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Same question I know that Vanderbilt has a waitlist that consists of two people. However, I don't know if they have released it yet. I don't know anything about Penn State's waitlist but it seems there is at least one person that got waitlisted (according to the results page). If you got the interview and haven't heard back yet, maybe you should maintain a moderate optimism. Best of luck! pearclick 1
